When you try to sanitize boom things by not calling them weapons, you are playing into the hands of antis. The 2nd Amend protects their use as weapons, not as tools or sporting instruments.

I'm not so sure about that . No wear in the 2nd amendment does it mention weapons but it does say something about the right to bear ARMS . My geuss it they ment fireARMS

The most interesting thing about this thread is that it shows how we need to have an organized vocabulary for these issues . We all believe in pretty much the same thing when it come to guns . Yet we can not agree on how best to articulate it .

I hear Glock just came out with a new pistol . I hear it's a tribute to the senate and the house of representatives . It's called the congressman . It hardly ever works and can't be fired .
